Yesterday we wrote about the leaks showing that Street Fighter V would get a new rage quit system and give us the option to change background music. Now we have the official confirmation, and the full details about today's update.

First of all, the update will as promised include a purchasable holiday themed DLC pack. This will offer a Christmas themed New York stage and special costumes for Juri, Ken, Karen, Laura, Rainbow Mika, and Zangief.

Secondly, Akuma will now join the roster, which also means a new story, Premium Battle, and Nostalgia costumes.

Then there's the changes:

• Direct Input controller support: The Steam version now officially supports Direct Input controllers.

• Background Music Select: You'll now be able to select your preferred music in Training and Versus Modes, as well as Casual and Ranked matches.

• Fighter Profile Radar Charts: Additional updates and fixes have been implemented into Fighter Profiles.

• Updated Rage Quit System: In addition to losing League Points and being locked out of online matchmaking for a set time, the following additions have been made to the system:

- Matchmaking Update: Players who frequently disconnect during matches will now be more likely to be matched up with other players who exhibit similar behaviour. The same applies for honourable players who rarely, if ever disconnect; they will be matched up with similar players.

- Player Profile Icons: The worst offenders and the most honourable players will also have a special icon displayed on their Fighter Profiles.

- League Points Deduction: Anytime a player disconnects during a match, their League Points will be deducted as if it was a loss.

Obviously, it'll also include a lot of balancing changes. We advise you to set aside some time before reading the patch notes, as the list is gigantic.

What changes do you like or dislike the most?
